Does This Exist?

I want a soundcard internal/external that will:-

Give me 5.1 surround when being used as a normal everyday pc.
Give me an instrument and Phantom powered input
Latency free midi
Latency free audio playback recording.

You should be able to do all that stuff with the UX2 you have. YOu need some studio monitors for when your recording and a cheapo USB midi box. Like a M-Audio midisport. So when you record the UX2 will take over as your sound card, when you aren't your normal 5.1 setup should work fine.

I THINK I am where I want to be. Jees...what is always this hard?

Set my UX2 up as a seperate input source to my AV Receiver and I can now do everything I need to. Took some amount of tweaking to get it all set.

So...for recording I now monitor via my UX2.

Only one SLIGHt weirdness, is that if I am playing guitar, it comes out of predominantly my centre speaker, unless I add, say. chorus in which case it goes stereo.

If I drag an audio track in I get full stereo.

Anyway...I think I am set to at least try and have some fun and get back into this now.
